Cooking, Creating, Baking, and Farm Life
The baking extravaganza all started with the announcement that my two daughters were coming over early Sunday morning! They had a to do list to do with the horses, it was going to be one of those wonderfully long days filled with outside chores , good food, laughter and complete exhaustion at the end of the day. Because I always have a to-do list that needs some TLC every now …
We lost a dear friend on Aug 09 2021, who was from a different time and place for all three of us. Francis, (frannie) our beloved cat of 22 years! My daughter was 9 when my daughter adopted her as a kitten, or as we say, Francis adopted us. We first met Frannie when we took pottery lessons from a very sweet old lady, who must have had 30 cats …
There has been an whirlwind of activity here at Long Ears Farm in the past couple weeks. With the return of warmer temps, I am now able to get everything outside set up in the garden, open up the chicken coops, build gates, repair fences, and turn the outside water back on, and bring the swamp cooler back online. Annie and Penny have been very involved in all the action …
I can mop up the floors and clean up the mud, vacuum the carpets and shake out the rugs. I can clean the house and do the chores, even wash the laundry once more. But I can’t replace the smiles and the laughter, those will live on long after. Long after the pawprints fade and the collars are finally put away. They may be muddy and they may be gross …
I knew when I woke up that this day would be different than most. I could smell a change in the winds as it engulfed me during my morning rounds. The air smelled sweet, almost foreign but oh so familiar. My best friend was still sleeping, she was tired from a long week at her job. I decided to go out into the yard and do my rounds early …
Let me introduce myself my name is Doc, or Docdog as my humans call me when I am in trouble and not in trouble, kina confusing if you ask me. My owner says I have an “intense personality”, maybe its because I am sort of a border collie, perhaps, some sort of border collies I have met do seem to be pretty intense that’s for sure. I know I have …
Hear Ye! Hear Yes, spring has sprung here at Long Ears Farm. This morning when I went out to do morning chores, I was greeted by the sound of a spring songbird. We have known each other for many years now, and I always say “See you next spring!” every time he flies south and I go indoors for the winter. I felt like a rebirth is occurring, within …
I am an avid writer that enjoys the cooking experience, from planning the meals, to shopping ingredients, to spending time in the kitchen creating the dish. Most importantly I luv to eat what I cook, I enjoy the flavors and textures in all foods. I luv to immerse myself in the smells and aromas that invoke so many memories, isn’t it funny how a chocolate chip cookie can take you …
